Similarly when Burrow was pressured heavily against the Broncos(who Mahomes also played mediocre against and needed to be bailed out by a blocked field goal) (where he got sacked 6 times and hit 15 times),he threw for 419 yards, 3 Tds, and 79.6 %. I honestly do not think there is another QB that can play at that level with the pressure he received that night including Mahomes.
Also weird you point at Mahomes vs Eagles and then Burrow vs Broncos (who got crushed by the Bills 7-31)... but Burrow also played the Eagles and lost 17-37. Beating a team in OT that gets boatraced in the wildcard round isn't more impressive than going to the SB yet again.

All I know is if Burrow in 7 years of starting had been to the AFCC 7 times, the SB 5 times, and won the SB 3 times, with 2 MVPs... we'd mercilessly mock KC fans if they tried to say their QB who has been to the playoffs in just 2/5 seasons (and neither of the last two), never won a SB, and never won an MVP was better.
We'd be talking about how Burrow was going to pass Brady for the GoaT mantle and would hear no possible arguments that he isn't #1 in the NFL right now.
On top that Burrow had an MVP quality season leading the NFL in passing Yards and TD passes. Their isn't a player that elevates the players around him more than Burrow does and their isnt a QB in this league that would be as productive with this current offensive line as Burrow is.
